Lict licked the drops of blood which had landed on his hand.
"This tastes awful." He said.
"This...can't be...." Melissa said as she covered her mouth.
Akagi just stared at him.
"...Lict....." Vierne said as she slowly got on her knees.
"How? How could you do that?" Jade said.
"This is crazy." Kyle said as he moved a step away.
"I'm getting outta here!" Kyle said as he started running.
Suddenly, Lict appeared before him and soon, Kyle's body was in pieces too. Then, he looked at Jade.
"Oh no! Uchitel- HELP!!" He shouted as he ran towards Akagi.
But, Lict reached him and grabbed his hand. Jade was dead.
Then he looked at Akagi.
"Milord! Reverse! Reverse time!!" Melissa shouted.
"Combining 23rd magic- 3rd spell- svodit' na net." Lict said.
The clock in Akagi's eyes vanished.
"What happened?... What did you do? I can't….use my magic." Akagi said.
"Combining 45th magic- 1st spell- Platinovaya metallicheskaya tsep'." Lict said and a huge platinum chain came out from the ground.
"Now, let's continue our fight. Oh sorry, you can't use your sila anymore. Then, let me make the final blow." Lict said as he ran towards Akagi.
He dodged Lict but the chain attacked his hand.
Now he was fighting the chain and Lict together.
Also, he couldn't touch Lict's hands or else he would end up the same way as the others.
As the heavy metal chain spanked his body, his limbs were covered with bruises which started bleeding.
Vierne was standing at the same place looking at Akagi and Lict fight.
"VIERNE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! HELP MILORD!!" Melissa shouted.
"Lord Akagi told me not to fight." Vierne said.
"WHAT?" Melissa said.
When finally Akagi couldn't even stand properly anymore, the chain went ahead and wrapped around Akagi's neck. It's grip got tighter as it strangled him.
Vierne looked at him...
"...Vierne, don't fight him today." Akagi said.
"What? But why?!" Vierne said.
"That's exactly what he wants. If you fight him today, he will be able to break the contract. Once he does that, he's free." Akagi said.
"But, a contact once formed, can't be broken. He said so himself." Vierne said.
"Yes, it's true. But, if he uses his magic against you, it's over. It makes the red string connecting you both much weaker, until it finally breaks.
If he breaks the contract, he will die. If you are bonded to him, you will soon start suffering."
"Then why does he want to break the contract?"
"Seems like. . . .He doesn't want you to suffer anymore. So if you want him to live, you must die. Choose wisely." Akagi said.
"Farewell, Demigod of Death." Lict said.
Akagi's view started getting hazy.
"STOP IT!!" Melissa said and ran towards Lict.
Lict started laughing, "This is so much fun, Milady. You should try it every once in a while." Lict said as he looked at his hands.
"This feeling of power running through my veins.... It feels awesome-"
*Slap*
Vierne slapped Lict and he looked at her with surprise.
Melissa stopped and looked at them.
"Lict, stop it....You're cruel. I don't want this...If you're gonna be like this....then…I don't really want you back....
But, I'll not let you win. I'll defeat you no matter what it takes. So, STOP HURTING THOSE PEOPLE WHO I TREASURE! IT'S AN ORDER!" Vierne said with her blue eyes shining brightly.
Lict looked at her, then he smiled and said "Order? And what gives you the idea that I'll listen to your order, Milady?"
"Why not? She is your paired demigod." A shrill voice said.
Lict turned back and saw Scar standing beside Kim.
"It's been a while, brother. Thanks to you, after that fight, my body took 2 weeks to heal completely." Scar said.
Lict just glared at her and then looked at Vierne.
"Hey, why are you ignoring me?" Scar said.
"Get lost. I don't fight losers." Lict said "I have business with Milady. All others can just get lost. You're like uninvited guests to me."
"Why so rude? Is it just me or have you gotten hotter after unsealing the curse?" Scar said.
"What do you want from me?" Lict said.
"I want to kill you. So that, I can become the one and only strongest star in the entire universe." Scar said.
"Aren't you the strongest already?" Vierne said.
"No, it's not me. It's my dear big brother, who's the strongest. Don't you know? Aren't you his master?" Scar said.
"I...didn't know" Vierne said.
"Why? Didn't Lict tell you?" Scar said.
"According to the twelve Heavenly Books- 'The Hour Of Music' is the strongest star who can do 100 magix and even combine them to form infinite spell combinations." Kim said.
"That... that is..." Vierne said.
"What is this? *Laughs* You don't know about your own star spirit? He's an elite. You can easily borrow the Twelve Heavenly Books from him if you were interested." Scar said.
"Shut up, you white haired chipmunk." Akagi said as he got up and wiped the blood off of his face. Melissa stood beside him.
"C- CHIPMUNK?! HOW DARE YOU!!!" Scar said.
"Why are you here, Kim Medvediva?" Akagi said.
"Don't you know? The parade has come to an end." Kim said.
"What?" Akagi said with a shocked expression.
"It's true. We people are the only Demigod pairs left on this planet." Kim said "And I wanna be the last one standing."
"For that, we'll first defeat my brother. Then, we'll deal with you." Scar said to Akagi.
She turned towards Lict and moved her hands in a circular motion,
"33rd spell- Ouija privideniye." Scar said and launched a silver beam towards Lict.
"Shield." Lict said and a translucent shield covered him.
The beam reflected back on Scar and a huge explosion took place.
"UGH! THIS SEEMS TOUGH!!" She said as she got up.
"What am I hearing? 'Tough' from Scar's mouth?" A woman's voice said from the tunnel beside the rocks.
"Oh, you are late." Kim said with a smile.
"Certainly. Please excuse me for this time." The woman said and walked out of the tunnel with two more people beside her.
Akagi moved a step back.
"What happened, Milord?" Melissa said.
"T- That is..." Akagi said as sweat rolled down his neck "Zia, Oleg and S-Serra"
Serra looked at Akagi and smiled.
Akagi flinched and moved back. All the tragic events in the past, again took place inside his mind.
"Oh my God! Are you…Akagi?" Serra said as she looked at Akagi.
"Yes, that is him." Kim said.
"You've become so hot after you've grown up. Do you remember me?" Serra said.
"Milord?" Melissa said as she looked at Akagi.
He seemed scared. His breathing was faster and he was sweating a lot.
"Melissa." He said.
"Yes?" Melissa said.
"Those people..... I WANT THEM DEAD, ALL OF THEM!! THAT'S AN ORDER!!" Akagi shouted.
